'''ER=EPR''' is a conjecture in quantum gravity, proposed by Juan Maldacena and Leonard Susskind in 2013, that equates two seemingly unrelated phenomena: the Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridge — a wormhole connecting two distant regions of spacetime — and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement — the quantum correlation between distant particles. The claim is that entanglement is not merely a correlation but a geometric connection: two entangled systems are joined by a microscopic wormhole, and the strength of the entanglement corresponds to the size of the bridge.

The conjecture resolves the [[Firewall Paradox|firewall paradox]] by denying that the late Hawking radiation is entangled with two independent systems. If the interior of the black hole and the early radiation are connected by a wormhole, then the late radiation is not entangled with two separate partners — it is entangled with one partner that has a bifurcated geometry. Monogamy of entanglement is preserved because the two apparent partners are the same partner viewed through a wormhole.

The conjecture is radical because it implies that quantum mechanics and spacetime geometry are not separate layers of reality but two languages for the same structure. Every entangled pair is a bridge; every bridge is an entangled pair. The implications for quantum computing are profound: if entanglement is geometry, then quantum computers are building small spacetimes, and the limits of entanglement are the limits of connectivity in the quantum geometry.
